Samsung RFG297AA Thin Film of Ice Forming Under Deli Drawer

Samsung RFG297AA french door fridge has a thin layer of ice forming underneath the "pantry" (deli) drawer. The temp setting for the drawer is "chill". I have had this unit since 09/08. This situation just started occurring. I cleared the ice and it re-accumulated within 48 hours. I do not see any other signs of water/ice.

What could be the culprit? Any advice and insight is greatly appreciated!

I just returned the same fridge to Lowe's where I bought it using the warranty for the same problem. The temperature sensors went out, and everyone said the computer board needed to be replaced but no one could seem to get it together enough to order us one. Month later we are getting a new fridge.

If you are referring to ice forming on the floor of the freezer, it's a result of a blocked defrost drain. Contact Maytag to send out an authorized service company to make repairs. There is a drain kit that is installed at no cost to you.

Usually due to CONDENSATION due to bad door seals or a plugged evaporator drain line? Can use a soft flexable tubing and very hot water to clean it out. Bad door seals usually need replacement, but u can use a blow dryer and something to pry it closer to the door wall while blowing hot air on to it. To create a seal, to test for bad door seals place a dollar bill in between the door and wall of fridge where it closes. Then slide out the dollar bill with door closed. It should offer some resistance and not be easy to pull out.

it could be that u have a leak.. sometimes this happens when to much water is delivered to the ice tray and it overflows a little leaking into fridge. if that is happening then u most likely have a problem with the water inlet valve at the back of fridge, u can buy the part on line at appliancepros.com. good luck
